Indeed, during our last visit to the Ranch for the DVD release of Episode III, producer Rick McCallum confirmed that a box set of all six films was going to happen eventually, and animation director Rob Coleman even let it slip that the puppet Yoda from Episode I had already been replaced with a new CG Yoda to match Episodes II & III for the "future" release. T-Bone over at Star Wars Universe recently speculated about this box set, and we've been quietly checking in with our industry sources on it as well. Well, we've confirmed it: There IS a big, ultimate, 6-film Star Wars anniversary DVD box set planned for 2007. There will be more changes to the films, and there will be LOTS of new, never-before-seen special features - all the good stuff that was held back by Lucasfilm from the original Trilogy DVD release a few years ago. Think deleted scenes and more. We don't know if good, genuinely-REMASTERED versions of the original theatrical editions of the films will be included or not (though how you could call the set "ultimate" without them, we don't know). We don't expect high-definition versions yet, as those formats are just too new. We don't have ANY other details for you yet, so please don't ask. But as you consider whether or not to purchase the "limited edition" DVDs due on 9/12... we thought you should know that more IS absolutely on the way next year. 'Nuff said for now.

"There will be more changes to the films" - the man just doesn`t know when to stop!
"all the good stuff that was held back by Lucasfilm from the original Trilogy DVD release a few years ago" - Nooo...
"We don't know if good, genuinely-REMASTERED versions of the original theatrical editions of the films will be included or not" - Well...seeing as this clearly is "Lucas milking the cash-cow part XVIII" I don`t see why they should go through all that trouble just to satisfy some geeky, nerdy fans...
Oh well. I`ll probably buy it. But that`s it I tell you! No more!
